The Gourd Family 🎃✨

2023/10/31

07:43

Tonight’s story is The Gourd Family, a rhyming story about magical pumpkins. This little story happens to be written by me! The Gourds first appeared in Chickadee Magazine a couple of years ago, and to this day, it remains one of my favourite stories that I’ve written. On snoreybooks.com, check out the amazing illustrations by Kiersten Eagan, which brought this story to life on the page. 

This story is all about using our imagination—and how the world of make-believe can be a lot of fun.
